Second Year

The two largest wastewater reclamation systems in Israel are monitored for both quality and operational parameters by a group of experts from the Environmental and Water Resources Engineering Center at the Technion in cooperation with Mekorot - Water Company for Israel. The Greater Haifa wastewater reclamation project is monitored now for the eighth year successively and the Greater Tel Aviv reclamation complex for the second year. Our experience indicates that the establishment of a comprehensive monitoring program for such systems is essential for the successful operation of the reclamation projects. However, periodic fundamental reviews of the monitoring program are necessary in order to improve and update its components. The basic trend of the two monitoring programs was to reduce to a great extent the number of both sampling points and parameters tested, while increasing specific research studies concerning particular problems that arose during the regular monitoring procedure.

Micronutrient Intake

Nutrition is important for human health in all stages of life - from conception to old age. Today we know much more about the molecular basis of nutrition. Most importantly, we have learnt that micronutrients, among other factors, interact with genes, and new science is increasingly providing more tools to clarify this interrelation between health and nutrition. Sufficient intake of vitamins is essential to achieve maximum health benefit. It is well established that in developing countries, millions of people still suffer from micronutrient deficiencies. However, it is far less recognized that we face micronutrient insufficiencies also in developed countries.
